This started out as a Pliny the Elder clone recipe. It was converted to extract. The brew store was out of Pilsen Light LME so I used Golden Light LME instead. I also used Safale US-05 dry yeast instead of the White Labs WLP001 California Ale Yeast. I used the Pliny Hop Pack from Farmhouse Brewing. It came out darker than Pliny so next time I’d like to lighten the color. It also came out feeling thicker and maltier. Pliny feels lighter which I like.
